- An obese Charles Fox with a beard, dressed as Falstaff, stands against the wall of a building inscribed, "Gt. Ormond Street," holding on his shoulders the Prince of Wales. The Prince reaches up with an open sack to receive the Great Seal from a man standing in the window, possibly Richard Fitzpatrick. Watching the scene are a courtesan and Mrs. Robinson (Perdita), whose hat is inscribed, "Perditi," an allusion to the status of both women, as well as to Fox's unenviable political situation

- Abstract:
- In a parody of Fuseli's Nightmare Lord Shelburne lies asleep on two rows of spikes inscribed with article numbers from the peace treaty with the United States. On his chest stands a fox with Fox's face, tearing at his crotch with his front paws and urinating on his face while saying, "If He opens his mouth I will be down his Throat." Above Shelburne's feet hovers Lord North's head saying, "the North fog Rot Him." Next to Shelburne's habitually smiling face crouches Lord Ashburton in a lawyer's robe and wig, holding a smelling-bottle and saying, "take comfort my Lord. for you I will be always Dunning."
